Who Knew?

Who knew

something that light

could carry so much weight,

something fleeting could last so long,

but what began as a smile sixty

years ago has withstood earthquakes,

tsunamis and long droughts –

a true friendship.

Who knew?

Practice

Practice,

they say, and you’ll

develop endurance

and skill. They’re right, you know. I’ve got

whining down pat and complaining I can

now do non-stop. Others marvel

at my mastery. I

owe it all to

practice.
